The key to building a HN-type website is really the moderation. I seriously doubt that HN would be this successful without the hard work from dang et al.

If you get that down, I think that many people would be interested in a biology-focused HN-like site. Getting the right people to join is important, too. HN started out with some high-level folk, who set the tone for what this site is.

Good luck!
